We got puppies!

Brian and I decided that it was time for a new puppy.  Well, more like Brian decided, but I jumped on board.  Then he decided that we needed two, so they could each have a playmate.  I agreed with him, because I know doggies really get lonely when no one is around.  With Halle being at school now, she wouldn't be able to hang out with the pet like she did with Rudi when she was homeschooled.
So Brian searched for two labs from the same litter.  He found a yellow and a black lab online that were 8 weeks old.  They had been found in Edna, TX.  Brian fell in love with their little faces.  They were sick at the time, and were not available for adoption just yet.  We waited until they were all clear and Brian drove to Edna to get them.  

This is Anna

And this is Bella

They are much bigger now since it's been a month since I took these pictures.  They are really playful and fit right in with our family.  Even Parker, our cat, has adjusted to them being around.  That doesn't really surprise me though, because he and Rudi were friends.  

These girls fight like sisters, but they also can't be without each other.  I'm really glad that we decided to get two, because they really do keep each other occupied.  I think it has helped to keep them from chewing up everything around the house.  Don't get me wrong, they get into everything, but they spend a lot of their play time wrestling and keeping each other distracted.  

They are smart little things.  We don't let them roam the house yet, but in the parts of the house they are allowed in, they seem to be house broken.  They also have learned some basic commands such as sit, down, stay, and eat.  They also know to go to their bed when you tell them to go to their kennel.  

But oh my, are they mischievous!  We have a wrought iron gate in our backyard that they can fit through.  We know it won't be a problem for long, because they are growing fast and soon will no longer be able to squeeze through the openings.  Brian has tried blocking the gate with chairs, wood scraps, the table, etc (it looks ghetto fabulous for now).  Then we'll watch them through the window and you can see them plotting on how to get out!  They help each get through!  As soon as they get out they run to the front door like "Look what I did!"  They are a mess, for sure.
